Bob,
If anyone does come up with anything, let me know. As far as I know (been down there for the last 15 years 5 -6 times a year), you have to go away from the clutter there, in any direction. Gophers, if I'm not mistaken would be Northwest from there...towards the panhandle/Georgia line or Northeast. As for the other native reps...head south...the Glades Outpost people can assist you in finding the "true" natives. I've yet to hook up with them, while I'm down there (being on a bike doesn't allow for much "gear" if you know what I mean). One of these days, I'll make the trip with my truck and then I'll try hooking up with them, since they seem to be the authority down in that neck of the woods.
Good luck with the shots,
Matt
